Kennedy Space Center - Space and Air Show 2008 - GREAT PICTURES!!

Recommended Posts

7 demo jumps, three days, tiny landing areas, tons of fun!!!

We had one KSC only show (rehearsal), two jumps, followed by a night jump into the Rocket Garden at the visitor's center for the opening dinner. Then, two jumps each day of the show.

This show was amazing, the organizers were great!!

The pictures, taken by dz.com's own Armymedic and team member (Doc), are spectacular!!

Check out the slide show:

The event was very well choreographed, you can see near the end where the F/A-18s fly by and over our team leader as he's landing the colors during the anthem (his words, "first time, scare the sh*t out of me!").

Our jump plane was a C-23 Sherpa (bigger skyvan) from Det 3, H Co., 171st AVN of the Kentucky Army National Guard.

Props to Doc (Armymedic) for the shots!
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

I like the exit shot where your diving out and you can see the reflextion of you all on the tailgate door.

All that water and you thought the landing area was tight?:P


You all are awesome!
Was it JW the other in the 3-way?

An Instructors first concern is student safety.

The three jumpers in the photos were SFC Jarrett, SGT Walker, and of course Max...

That reflection shot was one of my favorites...I suppose it just goes to show that if you are in the right place, at the right time, enough times (:P) you might actually get a "keeper" of a shot!

I knew two of 'em by sight and was pretty sure Jess was the third.

Good job Doc!

I really like how you ensured the camera guy is taken seriously buy getting a little hands on in some shots:P.

To me, it looked like a bit of "I crush your formation...I crush your formation!":ph34r:
